SOLSNI 2U14 DLGL FALSUM AUDEAT L 0 N D 0 N, SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1810. We mentioned, some days ago a report which .was 'prevalent in many parts of the' Continent, of the probability of a rupture between Russia and France. We stated this repott, not because we gave implicit credit to it, buf because it afforded a t . • Fr 14 . 15, of No. 4j, M a rt ictt.court, strong proof , c'of the feelings of the ; roptp of, the Continent, i - ho receive with a,idit any rumours that are of a nature Willie to France. The ac oounts, howetie.r, of a enolnesr between the 4m : peror ALes.ANDER and BIJONAP4ItTF: come from so may quartet*, and with such marks of authen ticity, that we cannot but• think them, entitled to mate attention. However infatuated the Ern ! peror ALEXANDER /nay be, however he any be • dazzled by the success, or terrified by the power, ' of BUONAPARTE, it is impossible that he can be in .sensibleof the danger that surrutinds him, or that he can 'hope to avert it by submitting to become the instrument of the Usurper. He' has seen in the fate of. Holland and of Spain, that no sacrifices short of ab,olute unconditional submission, will satisfy BUONAPARTE. Of these tabs he mJst be convinced, thJugh perhapa:', he might not have energy enaughi t to ,attenipi to, throw off the yoke, unless urged by the grOwing discontents of the peo .ple, 'whose be itttere9ts nro ortcrifivcd to inumuic the Tyrant of France: It is stated, however, that a considerable body of Russian troops have been marched to the frontiers of Poland and letters received yesterday from Heligoland assert, that a 'very considerable French force was marching in s the satire direction. Other letie . rs state, that the Finlanders have .refused to submit to the Russian Government, and that - several Severe con tests have taken place between Wein, and the Rus sian troops. We have - made some further, extraas from the French Papers that arrived yesterday. The Moniteur asserts; that the journey Of aIJONAPARTE to Spain is put off for an r indefinite time, and it also repeats the ; that a large French army is about to enter . - • Portugal. kretiol has been circulated, said to have been brought by the Conjuror schoonerfrom Lisbon, that the t,erznch had , advanced rapidly towards ~,Lisbon, and that the British and .Portuguese Itad enArked, and sailed' for Gibraltar. How so absurd a . report 'could be circulated it is difficult to conceive, but it probably took its, rise - from the circumstance of 4000 British troops ha'ving . embarked at Lisbon for Cadiz. • It is ,stated in private Letters that the Spanish Governor of Ceuta refused to adin . it t.he British troops into that place, upon the singular ground that the arrears of his pension had not been, paid to him. We-cannot speak posi'tively upon this point i . as . , no official advices have been received.
